Chapter 267 Longevity Pills, Black Market Merchants Transaction
When we arrived at our destination, we found a village with dozens of households, which was still under the jurisdiction of Lijiu City.
In addition to the Dayan Hua Sect, there are actually many other sects in Lijiu City. They are all martial artists who follow the Tongqiao Dao, but they are all under the jurisdiction of the Dayan Hua Sect.
Li Changxiao looked from afar and saw the ground was covered with wounds, as if a great battle had taken place last night.
He had not expected such a tragedy to happen here.
He got off his horse and walked in the ruined village. There were corpses everywhere, including men, women, young and old. Li Changxiao frowned slightly. He could also tell from this place that there was the aura of Dayan Huazong's martial arts.
Last night, an elder from Dayan Huazong came here and had a fierce battle with a group of people.
However, based on the traces at the scene.
That elder had an overwhelming advantage.
Li Changxiao speculated that the elder was most likely Zhang Mo. Given her decisive personality, she was probably still worried about the case and came over to investigate overnight.
If it's really her, then it's normal.
As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Zhang Mo once ate a spiritual fruit in the depths of the pollen forest, and absorbed the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Tiancanjiao. These had a significant effect on her body. Coupled with her good talent, these were enough to help her take her martial arts to the next level.
The group of people who fought against Zhang Mo were most likely the ones who massacred the village.
But why did they massacre the whole village? ... Li Changxiao thought silently. He explored the remains of the village and finally stopped in front of a yellow mud house.
This family showed signs of having held a funeral recently.
This should be the hometown of the sick servant of the Wang family, but Li Changxiao searched around but did not find the servant's body.
Could it be that the group of people came here just for the corpse?
Although the body was not found, it does not mean that nothing was gained. On the contrary, it just confirmed Li Changxiao's guess.
According to the palace's housekeeper.
The servant was already very old. He had grown up with the master and had taken care of the master's food, clothing and daily life for most of his life.
In other words, he lived a long time.
Li Changxiao returned to Lijiu City and sneaked into the palace. No one was around to lift the coffin lid. Just as he thought, the body of Mr. Wang was missing.
Li Changxiao did not stop.
Having Zhang Mo around can indeed help him save some trouble, but if she joins in on this strange case, it will only bring risks.
So Li Changxiao didn't call her, but acted alone.
He had already connected the fragmentary clues in his mind.
He left the palace quietly and went to the wine shop where wine was served to find a bride.
The liquor store corpse case and the mysterious disease case seem to have no connection.
In fact, they all have one thing in common.
That means the Life-stealing Dao is involved.
The death of the parasite master who walked through the orifice channel can be regarded as an accident.
The couple was indeed innocent.
The key point lies in the word "business". The parasite master's time is coming to an end, and his strongest desire is naturally to prolong his life. However, the parasite master is obviously not a local and is not familiar with Lijiu City.
It can be imagined that the parasitologist had heard a certain rumor and came to Lijiu City specifically to find a certain type of person to do the longevity business. It can also be said that he came here to ask for medicine, medicine to prolong life.
But he found the wrong one.
What he wanted to find was a black market trader of the Life-Stealing Sect, but he found the Yin-Yang couple of the Life-Stealing Sect. Both of them were from the Life-Stealing Sect, so the skinny man got confused.
The warm jade under Mr. Wang’s bed is also related to the black market merchants of the Life-stealing Road.
Combine the two cases.
It is not difficult to see that the black market businessman who steals life is the one who truly controls the life extension business.
It was he who enabled Mr. Wang to live to be over 170 years old.
The servant had followed Grandpa Wang since he was a child and lived to be over a hundred years old. The fact that he could live that long must be related to Grandpa Wang and the longevity business.
In other words, the illness of the Wang family servant shows that this strange disease is closely related to the longevity business and there is an inevitable connection between them.
Li Changxiao speculated that it might be a black market merchant who was selling a pill that had the effect of prolonging life. Taking it could make people live longer, but it would also cause illness.
Just find the black market dealer.
Everything will become clear.
The black market merchants are so well hidden that perhaps only those who have lived in Lijiu City for a long time have heard of them.
Li Changxiao's eyes showed a thoughtful look. The black market dealer's base should be near the wine shop where the mummy case occurred, otherwise the parasitologist would not have made the wrong choice.
Li Changxiao came to the street and took a quick look. He indeed found a shop that looked a little strange.
It is a jade shop.
Various jades are placed inside, and in addition to jade, there are also various rare items.
One of the jade stones looked familiar to Li Changxiao. It had the body of a toad and the head of a human. From Zhang Mo, he knew that the Life-stealing sect had different organizations and factions. This statue of a toad swallowing life was the symbol of the Life-stealing sect in the Baiyu area.
"This is a toad that brings longevity. Although it looks ugly, it is very auspicious." The store manager introduced with a smile.
Li Changxiao saw at a glance that this person was not a life-extending person and his real age was around thirty years old, so he blew a breath at him.
The breeze brings dreams.
Qian Meng was controlling the store manager's behavior again.
I just saw him turn around stiffly and walk somewhere.
Li Changxiao followed behind him.
There is another world inside this shop. The manager fiddled with a jade mechanism to open a secret compartment, revealing a dark passage.
Go deep into the channel.
Candles were burning on both sides, and there was a faint fragrance wafting out, but it was non-toxic and even had the effect of calming the mind.
The ground under your feet is covered with soft leather, making it extremely comfortable to walk on. Although the passage is dark, it actually doesn't look eerie at all. Instead, it looks more like a secret place for entertainment built for the rich.
Passing a corner.
There was a faint sound of bidding in my ears.
Li Changxiao blew a breath of wind, then intercepted it, pinched it left and right, and rubbed the Heaven Seal among the Ten Immortal Seals into the wind, using it as an eye, then released his hands and let the wind blow along the channel.
This method is equivalent to opening the spiritual consciousness.
Everything big and small that happens in this secret room can be seen at a glance.
This turned out to be a small auction house. There was a charming woman standing on the stage, auctioning a pale white pill.
The bidders in the audience were bidding more and more fiercely, and the competition was so intense that no one would give in.
Even the two old men rolled up their sleeves and almost started a fight over the pill.
That alluring woman was probably a black market trader who stole lives.
And that pill is probably the source of the strange disease, but it can indeed prolong one's life.
If Li Changxiao guessed correctly.
That strange disease is not highly contagious.
The reason why it has been spreading is that people keep swallowing the white pill, or in other words, people who have swallowed this pill will become infected in the near future.
Li Changxiao just exhaled a breath of Fuhuafeng lightly.
The crowd who were bidding fiercely fell into a deep sleep in an instant, and the originally bustling secret place suddenly became deserted.
The black market merchant who was taking the life-stealing road frowned when he saw Li Changxiao approaching from the darkness.
After some negotiation between the two, Li Changxiao asked the black market merchant where the elixir came from. The black market merchant refused to tell him, and naturally a competition broke out.
The charming woman's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, so she was no match for Li Changxiao. Li Changxiao only blew a gust of wind, and she was blown away.
The charming woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her pupils trembling, and blurted out: "Descendants of the Xiao family in the Red Domain?"
The words of the charming woman made Li Changxiao frown. Red Domain Xiao Family's descendants? Red Domain Xiao Family is Red Domain Xiao Family, why add the word "descendants"?
Li Changxiao pinched the immortal seal in his hand and gently pressed it on the belly of the charming woman.
A mysterious power surged into the body of the enchanting woman.
The charming woman was horrified, "The breath of the essence?"
"Who are you?"
In less than a breath, she had lost her fighting ability. Li Changxiao told her that if she wanted to survive, she should close this business and then go to Zhaoxiang Restaurant to find him in the middle of the night.
talking.
Li Changxiao turned around and left.
The charming woman looked unhappy. Who was this mysterious man who suddenly broke in? And why?
She had no choice but to do as she was told. After the customers who wanted to buy longevity pills woke up, she drove them all out. She was restless and waited until late at night. Then she put on a black robe and went to the third floor of Zhaoxiang Tower.
Zhaoxiang Tower is built by the water and has a pleasant scenery.
The man sat by the window, waiting for her. The fight during the day made the charming woman realize that she was no match for him and she couldn't even escape because he possessed the power of the "essence of the spirit".
That power frightened her.
Both in the past and now.
"Very good." Li Changxiao showed a satisfied look when he saw him coming.
He got straight to the point and asked her some questions. Compared to the daytime, she was obviously much more sensible, but she was still not honest.
Told a lot of lies.
If it were anyone else, it would be hard to tell.
However, what she faced was Li Changxiao who was embarking on a journey of "truth and falsehood".
There were not many people who could deceive him under his deliberate questioning, and this charming woman was obviously not one of them.
Li Changxiao was too lazy to distinguish every word. He picked up a peanut with two fingers and flicked it lightly, shooting it at the center of the beautiful woman's eyebrows.
This moment.
The seductive woman looked confused.
After a few breaths, his eyes gradually regained their spirit, but they were still confused. After a few more breaths, they began to regain clarity bit by bit.
When he was roughly awake, he shuddered violently.
Breathing in big gulps of fresh air.
The cold sweat on his forehead broke out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His whole body looked as if he had been fished out from the bottom of the water.
Fear spread in my heart.
The man opposite him just said slowly, "Don't lie."
